Bucket Rock 

A ubiquitous and formulaic type of popular American music, characterized by the usage of a combination of previously popular sylistic elements. Punk- or grunge/metal-inspired guitars and rhythms are combined with highly melodic harmonized vocals. A spoken-word rap is frequently used as the "middle eight" of a Bucket Rock composition. The rap is preferably performed by a very famous collaborator to lend credibility to the track. Next, either a musical bridge is played or a closing verse ends the song. Due to its simplistic content and predictability, this musical form is considered to be mediocre at best and irrelevant at worst.

Called 'Bucket Rock' because if all mainstream American rock songs released since about 2000 were placed in a bucket and one was selected at random, it would sound precisely like all the others.
What a waste of $40, we went to see my cousin's band play at the House of Blues last night, but it was total bucket rock.

Stub Bucket

"she's such a stub bucket, I wouldn't even tie in with someone else's rod."

“Yo Kyle, we just hired that girl I saw on that Instagram welding page! I’mma show her what full penetration is like!”
"Easy bro, you’ll contaminate your rod, she’s a total stub bucket. No amount of Monsters or drywall will wash that away"

buckleybox 

A dialogue bubble in a comic strip that serves less as a medium for conversation or character development and more for the purposes of explaining to the reader what they are to find amusing. It is similar to the idea of "telegraphing" a joke; however, instead of simply making it obvious that the joke is imminent, a buckleybox analyzes the joke itself in order to inform the reader from where the humor is intended to be derived.

It is often associated with a lack of writing aptitude, in that the writer is unable to artfully craft humor and must, instead, resort to prolonging the punchline to the extent that it is lost in text. In every situation of a buckleybox, it is possible to remove the box entirely while simultaneously improving the quality of the humor.
Three comic panels that set up an obvious sight gag. Buckleybox in the final panel: "Let's see them fuck with me now that I've got a gun with a TRAIN on it!"
